Polemi Sunset
Published 15th of January, 2018
Polemi isn't known for it's sunsets, well, to us at least. They are normally the domain of the coastal areas of Paphos, and Max's house. However, this evening, the Gods smiled on us, and granted us a lovely sunset. The photos can provide a brief, fitting epilogue to our last blog, Polemi Sunrise.
There Goes The Sun
I had been out tidying the garden, which is at best a losing battle in our house, when I became aware that the sun was setting over the hills behind me.
I ummed and ahhed for a bit, before nipping in to get the camera. If I was ever going to do a blog about a sunset in Polemi it would make sense to do it after the sunrise blog.
No Reflections
Most sunsets I take have a flat horizon. The trees provide an interesting contrast.
See You Tomorrow!
And with that, ths sun was gone. A short blog, but I thought it a worthwhile thing to capture and share...
Incidentally, higher-res versions of these images will soon be viewable in the gallery. I am uploading pictures at the moment. Watch this space...

Polemi Concentration Camp
As you approach Polemi from the B7, you pass the Kamanterena Winery on your right. Just beyond that, if you are paying attention, you will see a lookout tower that wouldn't look out of place on a WW2 movie.

Polemi Tulip Festival 2018
This morning, Polemi was bathed in Spring sunshine, as it invited people to come and see the tulips that flourish there every year.

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings.
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
